Last Birds  is the musical offspring of Lindsay Arnold and Mike Davis.    This new project follows their success with the folk group, Hook & Nail, which includes a Canadian Folk Music Award nomination for New/Emerging Artist of the Year in 2020 and reaching  #4 on the SaskMusic’s Best Saskatchewan Albums of 2018 list. Over the past two years Mike and Lindsay have been writing songs that focus on vocal harmonies and acoustic guitars, balancing the sound on the musical intimacy possible in a spouse duo. Keeping the instrumentation minimal, their songs hearken to the early days of country folk music while exploring dilemmas of the modern world.   

Holding a mirror to current events, Last Birds' first single, Worry About It follows a troubled mind through a 24-hour period. With great empathy for the human condition, the song touches on growing anxieties that plague our personal and world views. Worry About It features a dual lead vocal approach with Lindsay Arnold and Mike Davis singing close harmonies, a style influenced by the Everly Brothers. Their voices are layered over interwoven acoustic guitars and supported by accomplished studio musicians, Steve Hinson (pedal steel), Jayson Brinkworth (percussion), and Brad Prosko (electric guitar).

Worry About It Official Video Release - October 20, 2020

Last Birds refused to let the current pandemic restrictions stop them from making a video for the release of their first single. Mike and Lindsay decided to produce their own video using what they had available at home. The video was shot on location in Estevan, Saskatchewan using an iPhone. The footage was captured through the cracked and weathered windows of 20-year-old mini-van. An anonymous driver travels through night to day to evening in a disconcerting maze of ordinary life.
